Evening
Mail indicates that "They (Wolves) had fairly beat the
County players although the latter had threatened their
team by the inclusion of Woolley, late of Aston Villa"
The report also indicated that "Woolley was left
out in the cold by his companions"
and that Dunning, Reynolds and Russell of Villa didn't
play because they "bunked" again.
Birmingham Evening Mail
26th January continued (Manchester Guardian)...
"...and Woolley turned out in the County colours"
"Winning the toss the County attacked and
Woolley nearly beat Hassall in the first minute".
"The county equalised within a couple of minutes,
Woolley putting on the finish touch"
Manchester Guardian
26th January continued (Derby Daily Telegraph)...
"The county were at once in evidence and Woolley
a minute from the start shot in a beauty, which
Hassell had the greatest difficulty in saving".
"Baugh kicked away, but Keay gave nicely to
Woolley and the new-comer signalised his first
appearance in the eleven by equalising in grand
style with an effort which was irresistible"
"Then again at the other end Green had to
fist away from Griffin but the County came once
more and from a fine centre by Woolley, John Goodhall
headed over."
"Green twice had to run out and although the
County once got away Docherty and Woolley between
them spoilt the effort"
"...although Francis made a good attempt to
convert a good centre by Woolley."
"Derby County again attacked and added by
some clever work by Docherty, Woolley and Keay
got within range but the kicking out tactics which
the leaders were now adopting, rendered failed
all endeavours to score."
"Woolley, the Aston Villa recruit, made a
favourable first impression, his opening run down
and centre being very promising. He Maintained
this form only slightly, but in saying that he
was not seen to the best advantage we are only
making a remark which will apply with equal force
to the rest of the forwards."

The Derby Daily Telegraph reflected on last Saturday's
match against Wolverhampton.
"John Goodhall back in the team which was also
strengthened by the appearance of Woolley on the outside
left..."
"The smart manner in which Woolley equalised made
it appear as though the County had the had the game
in hand"

Evening Mail |
The Evening Mail name the team that will play Villa in
the F.A.Cup but Woolley is not named. This indicates
that he was injured/ill or maybe they exercised the
cup-tie rule in those days. More investigation required.

"....whilst Thraves saved from Woolley"
Manchester Guardian
16th February continued (Derby Daily Telegraph)...
"Woolley was pulled up
for off-side just as he dashed with the ball against the
net, the leather going with such force that the net had
to undergo repairs"
"Thraves saved grandly on the line
and Woolley repeated the dose, some exciting play following
around."
"..and
following an easily repulsed attack on the home goal,
Woolley shot over from a pass by Bloomer"
"Woolley, Bloomer and Stevenson
all shooting fast, whilst the goalkeeper saved capitally
on several occasions."
"...Woolley was deservedly cheered for a grand
shot which Thraves saved with the greatest difficulty.
"Whitelaw missed his kick and Bloomer and Woolley
got away, the latter shooting wildly over."
"Bloomer ran clean down and shot,
Thraves clearing and Woolley unfortunately fouled form
the rebound otherwise a goal would have been certain."
"A fine centre
by Woolley was not turned to good account."
"and directly after he ably (Thraves) dealt with
a beauty from Woolley, the old Villa man"

Notes on Out-Door
Sports section
"the forwards were absolutely useless
in front of goal, Bloomer and Woolley being the only
two who did themselves justice."
The paper also mentions Derby County
vs the rest of Derbyshire
"The County also were well represented although
John Goodhall and Woolley were absent."

Bit of confusion on this match as Manchester Guardian has
no mention of Woolley but does mention McQueen. The
Derby Daily Telegraph lists the team playing against
Liverpool on their previous Wednesday "Notes on
outdoor sports" column. As you can see they list
Woolley and don't even mention McQueen!
